Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Verses
Beware, you write, of Adam-zad, the bear that looks like a man, And you make us laugh and shudder, as only the poet can; Yet away in the northern darkness Christ is speaking thro' a man, And - perhaps you understand him as well as an Englishman can. Away in the northern darkness, from the cold Of the northern night, his apostle is crying the message, and you do not hear it right; But we who would fain believe him rejoice that he sitteth the'r'e, On the great white throne Of the Russias, young Alexander, the Bear.
